Confirmed Yoruba Medicine and Herbs to Treat Cholera

Among the Yoruba, diseases were not seen only as physical imbalances but also as or environmental disturbances. Cholera, with its sudden onset of severe diarrhea and dehydration, was recognized as a dangerous and potentially fatal condition. Yoruba forefathers, in their wisdom, developed Ogun Onigbameji, a traditional healing system designed to treat cholera effectively and restore the body’s balance.
ogun onigbameji to treat choleraOgun Onigbameji is more than just herbal remedies; it is an approach that combines physical treatment with inner fortification. In Yoruba belief, recovery from acute diseases requires not only medicinal herbs but spiritual appealing.

For years back, this practice saved countless lives in times before hospitals and modern medicine were widely available. Even today, many families still use these remedies as part of their cultural heritage and as a protective measure during outbreaks.

Symptoms of Cholera (Aisan Onigba-meji)
In Yoruba tradition, elders observed key physical, environmental, and spiritual signs to identify cholera and prevent complications:

1) Severe diarrhea —
Sudden, watery bowel movements that can quickly lead to dehydration.
2) Vomiting and nausea —
Often persistent, compounding the loss of fluids.
3) Rapid dehydration —
Dry mouth, sunken eyes, and weak pulse were immediate red flags.
4) Abdominal cramps and pain —
Intense stomach discomfort signaling infection.
5) Extreme weakness and fatigue —
The patient loses energy rapidly.
6) Restlessness or confusion —
Signs of severe dehydration and systemic imbalance.
7) Fear of water or certain foods —
An observed symptom to the observation of cholera vulnerability.

Elders understood that prompt action was essential. Remedies and protective measures were administered immediately to prevent rapid deterioration.

How Our Forefathers Treated Ogun Onigbameji in the Past
Yoruba healers used structured remedies and rituals to treat cholera effectively:
•  Oral rehydration with herbal tonics — To restore lost fluids and electrolytes naturally.
•  Baths and steaming with medicinal leaves — To reduce fever and purify the body.
•  Protective amulets or charms — Sometimes tied to the patient to prevent reinfection or spiritual interference
•  Herbal decoctions — Carefully prepared mixtures of leaves, roots, and barks known to cleanse the digestive system and rehydrate the body. Below are some of the plants which our fore-fathers used in treating Onigbameji in the past:
a) Ewe Jogbo
b) Ewe Apá
c) Ewe Odundun
d) Ewe Efinrin
e) Egbo Igi Orombo
f) Iyo (Salt)

The Healing Process in Traditional Practice
When preparing remedies for Ogun Onigbameji, Yoruba healers followed careful steps to ensure safety, potency, and spiritual alignment:

1.  Selecting herbs, roots, and barks — Collected at specific times of day when their efficacy was believed to be highest.
2.  Purification and preparation — Materials were washed, sun-dried, pounded, or boiled into decoctions and tonics.
3.  Initial dosing and observation — The first doses were given carefully to monitor the patient’s reaction.
4.  Complementary dietary practices — Patients were guided on water intake, food restrictions, and hygiene to maximize recovery.

Differences Between Yoruba and Modern Cholera Treatment
While both approaches aim to treat cholera, their perspectives and methods differ:
•  Focus of healing —
Yoruba remedies emphasize both physical rehydration and spiritual fortification; modern medicine focuses on rehydration, antibiotics, and electrolyte replacement.
•  Materials used —
Yoruba healers relied on herbs, roots, and natural tonics; modern medicine uses oral rehydration salts, IV fluids, and prescribed antibiotics.
•  Approach to recurrence —
Yoruba practices may include protective rituals and lifestyle adjustments; modern treatment emphasizes hygiene, water safety, and vaccination.

Safety First: Important Contraindications and Considerations
•  Severe dehydration —
Patients may need immediate hospital attention; traditional remedies complement but do not replace emergency care.
•  Children and the elderly —
Extra caution is necessary due to high vulnerability.
•  Quality of herbs —
Only fresh, uncontaminated ingredients should be used.
